Question - anyone DOGE'd get through filing for unemployment to make a claim in IL? I have a suspicion that the Presidential Memo where Trump cites "poor performance" is messing with mine, and maybe others' claims for unemployment.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

Musk just found the biggest bus he could possibly find to throw the DOGE people working for him under. These actions to hold funding are unambiguously illegal. DOGE peeps should think about their futures in court or prison as that seems like a real possibility if democracy holds.

I've known @jeffjarvis.bsky.social for almost 25 years and the reason I've always respected him is that it is a genuine risk to his career and status for him to plainly say the truth on this kind of platform. And it has impact that he does so.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's the Musk Effect. Someone who sounds like a genius until he starts talking about something you're knowledgeable about, and you realize he's saying the dumbest shit ever.

One day is not a boycott. It's a stunt. Anything I would've ordered or watched or listened to from Amazon, anything I would've gotten at Target, I will from now on go elsewhere for. That's a boycott.

This one hurts more than I would have expected. Reflecting on Michelle being Harriet the Spy and Dawn is just too much. I know Millennials loved her from so many other roles. deadline.com/2025/02/mich...

Considering how racist Coeur d'Alene is known to be, it's kind of wild that they rebuked Lear Asset Management at all (the private security firm employing those dudes who assaulted that woman during the town hall), let alone revoked their operating license. (Original image reposted with alt text)

I was a Milwaukee Public Schools librarian in my second year, but I refused to sign off on a school budget that had glaring issues, so the Principal did unlawful things with my role, like making me a floating teacher. But assigning me to clean up overflowing toilets was the morning I quit.
